I successfully installed the Meteohub app on a co-workers plug today. Pretty straightforward. The installer app and docs that docbee has put together work pretty well. Just in time for winter in Alaska...

Depending on how your mac is configured, you could always boot from an Ubuntu LiveCD and run the process that way. I haven't tried it on my MacBook Pro yet, but I also bet you could install Linux in a virtual machine within Virtualbox and get it to work that way too.

Even if you brick it, you should be able to get back up and running using the Installer package. It was just updated today and now also runs in Windows as well as Linux. Check the u-boot section of the forum for info and the download section of plugcomputer.org to get started.
